FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to deuterium-enriched oxybutynin, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and methods of using the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Oxybutynin, shown below, is a well known anticholinergic.

Since oxybutynin is a known and useful pharmaceutical, it is desirable to discover novel derivatives thereof. Oxybutynin is described in G.B. Patent No. 940,540; the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide deuterium-enriched oxybutynin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

It is another object of the present invention to provide pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the deuterium-enriched compounds of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for treating overactive bladder, comprising administering to a host in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the deuterium-enriched compounds of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel deuterium-enriched oxybutynin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in therapy.

It is another object of the present invention to provide the use of a novel deuterium-enriched oxybutynin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a medicament (e.g., for the treatment of overactive bladder).

These and other objects, which will become apparent during the following detailed description, have been achieved by the inventor's discovery of the presently claimed deuterium-enriched oxybutynin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Deuterium (D or ²H) is a stable, non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen and has an atomic weight of 2.0144. Hydrogen naturally occurs as a mixture of the isotopes ¹H (hydrogen or protium), D (²H or deuterium), and T (³H or tritium). The natural abundance of deuterium is 0.015%. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that in all chemical compounds with a H atom, the H atom actually represents a mixture of H and D, with about 0.015% being D. Thus, compounds with a level of deuterium that has been enriched to be greater than its natural abundance of 0.015%, should be considered unnatural and, as a result, novel over their non-enriched counterparts.

All percentages given for the amount of deuterium present are mole percentages.

It can be quite difficult in the laboratory to achieve 100% deuteration at any one site of a lab scale amount of compound (e.g., milligram or greater). When 100% deuteration is recited or a deuterium atom is specifically shown in a structure, it is assumed that a small percentage of hydrogen may still be present. Deuterium-enriched can be achieved by either exchanging protons with deuterium or by synthesizing the molecule with enriched starting materials.

The present invention provides deuterium-enriched oxybutynin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof There are thirty-one hydrogen atoms in the oxybutynin portion of oxybutynin as show by variables R₁-R₃₁, in formula I below.

The hydrogens present on oxybutynin have different capacities for exchange with deuterium. Hydrogen atom R₁ is easily exchangeable under physiological conditions and, if replaced by a deuterium atom, it is expected that it will readily exchange for a proton after administration to a patient. The remaining hydrogen atoms are not easily exchangeable and may be incorporated by the use of deuterated starting materials or intermediates during the construction of oxybutynin. Oxybutynin with R₂₂-R₃₁=D is known (Patrick, K. S., et al., “Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of plasma oxybutynin using a deuterated internal standard,” J. Chromatog. 1989, 487, 90-98). Oxybutynin with R₂₀-R₂₁=D is known (Lindeke, B., et al., “Metabolism of oxybutynin: Establishment of desethyloxybutynin and oxybutynine N-oxide formation in rat liver preparations using deuterium substitution and gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis,” Biomed. Mass Spect. 1981, 8, 506-513).

The present invention is based on increasing the amount of deuterium present in oxybutynin above its natural abundance. This increasing is called enrichment or deuterium-enriched. If not specifically noted, the percentage of enrichment refers to the percentage of deuterium present in the compound, mixture of compounds, or composition. Examples of the amount of enrichment include from about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 63, 67, 71, 75, 79, 84, 88, 92, 96, to about 100 mol %. Since there are 31 hydrogens in oxybutynin, replacement of a single hydrogen atom with deuterium would result in a molecule with about 3% deuterium enrichment. In order to achieve enrichment less than about 3%, but above the natural abundance, only partial deuteration of one site is required. Thus, less than about 3% enrichment would still refer to deuterium-enriched oxybutynin.

With the natural abundance of deuterium being 0.015%, one would expect that for approximately every 6,667 molecules of oxybutynin (1/0.00015=6,667), there is one naturally occurring molecule with one deuterium present. Since oxybutynin has 31 positions, one would roughly expect that for approximately every 206,677 molecules of oxybutynin (31×6,667), all 31 different, naturally occurring, mono-deuterated oxybutynins would be present. This approximation is a rough estimate as it doesn't take into account the different exchange rates of the hydrogen atoms on oxybutynin. For naturally occurring molecules with more than one deuterium, the numbers become vastly larger. In view of this natural abundance, the present invention, in an embodiment, relates to an amount of an deuterium enriched compound, whereby the enrichment recited will be more than naturally occurring deuterated molecules.

In view of the natural abundance of deuterium-enriched oxybutynin, the present invention also relates to isolated or purified deuterium-enriched oxybutynin. The isolated or purified deuterium-enriched oxybutynin is a group of molecules whose deuterium levels are above the naturally occurring levels (e.g., 3%). The isolated or purified deuterium-enriched oxybutynin can be obtained by techniques known to those of skill in the art (e.g., see the syntheses described below).

The present invention also relates to compositions comprising deuterium-enriched oxybutynin. The compositions require the presence of deuterium-enriched oxybutynin which is greater than its natural abundance. For example, the compositions of the present invention can comprise (a) a μg of a deuterium-enriched oxybutynin; (b) a mg of a deuterium-enriched oxybutynin; and, (c) a gram of a deuterium-enriched oxybutynin.

In an embodiment, the present invention provides an amount of a novel deuterium-enriched oxybutynin.

Examples of amounts include, but are not limited to (a) at least 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, to 1 mole, (b) at least 0.1 moles, and (c) at least 1 mole of the compound. The present amounts also cover lab-scale (e.g., gram scale), kilo-lab scale (e.g., kilogram scale), and industrial or commercial scale (e.g., multi-kilogram or above scale) quantities as these will be more useful in the actual manufacture of a pharmaceutical. Industrial/commercial scale refers to the amount of product that would be produced in a batch that was designed for clinical testing, formulation, sale/distribution to the public, etc.

SYNTHESIS

Scheme 1 shows two routes to oxybutynin (Majewski and Campbell, US 3176019).

Scheme 2 shows how various deuterated starting materials and intermediates that can be used in the chemistry of Scheme 1 to make deuterated oxybutynin analogs. A person skilled in the art of organic synthesis will recognize that these materials may be used in various combinations to access a variety of deuterated oxybutynins. This Figure is meant to be illustrative and not comprehensive; it should be recognized that a person skilled in the art of organic synthesis will readily derive other chemical reactions and deuterated materials that may be used to make a wide variety of oxybutynin analogs. The use of the deuterated amine 4 in the synthesis of 2 or in equation (2) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₂₂-R₃₁=D. The use of the deuterated amine 5 in the synthesis of 2 or in equation (2) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₂₂-R₂₅=D. The use of the deuterated amine 6 in the synthesis of 2 or in equation (2) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₂₆-R₃₁=D. The use of the deuterated formaldehyde 7 in the synthesis of 2 or in equation (2) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₂₀-R₂₁=D. The use of 8, a deuterated form of 1, in equation (1) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₂-R₆=D. The use of 9, a deuterated form of 1, in equation (1) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₇-R₁₇=D. The use of 10, a deuterated form of 3, in equation (2) in Scheme 1 will produces oxybutynin with R₂₀-R₂₁=D.
